ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 - UPDATE 2013 DRAFT VERSION• The seventh information item is conditional upon the value of ALL being 1. It isthe allele call 2 / AL2. This is the allele call for the locus reference as indicatedby the value of DLR. It contains up to 4 characters, such as “11” or “23.3”. It mayappear only if AL1 is used; since there are cases with only one allele in a call, it ispossible that AL1 will have a value in this field and AL2 will not have a value. Itshall be empty if AL1 is empty.• The eighth information item is optional but shall not appear unless ALL = 1. It isthe allele call 3 / AL3. This is the allele call for the locus reference DLR. Itcontains up to 4 characters, such as “11” or “23.3”. This is not used for mixtures,but is for the rare case of a tri-allele. The information item allele call 3 / AL3shall only appear if information items AL1 and AL2 are present.• The ninth information item is the batch ID / BID. This optional information itemshall contain an identifier for the batch to which a locus belongs. This may bereferred to as the gel or plate identifier. A specimen may have loci from multiplebatches. The BID shall be up to 32 Unicode characters.• The tenth information item is optional. It is called the electropherogram crossreference / ECR and has the same value as the electropherogram imagereference / EIR from the appropriate subfield of Field 18.019:Electropherogram description / EPD that is associated with the information inthis field and particular subfield instance (if there is such an electropherogrampresent in this instance of the record).• The eleventh information item is optional. It is called the ladder cross reference /LCR and has the same value as the ladder image reference / LIR from theappropriate subfield of Field 18.023: Electropherogram ladder / EPL that isassociated with the information in this field and particular subfield instance (ifthere is such a ladder present in this instance of the record).• The twelfth information item is the kit ID / KID. This mandatory informationitem contains a number that references the kit used to process the DNA describedin this record. The numeric values for specific kits are contained in the list of kitsmaintained by NIST at: http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/ansi_standard.cfm. The valuesto be entered are those in the “Reference Number” column. The KID value shallbe represented as 0 for a non-listed kit. If a non-listed kit is used (KID = 0), thenthe following three 175 information items are mandatory.• The thirteenth information item is the kit name / KNM. This is an alphanumericvalue of up to 32 Unicode characters. KNM shall be entered if KID = 0.• The fourteenth information item is the manufacturer / KMF. It is an175[2013a>] changed wording to indicate the following information items arereferenced in the sentence [
